Strategic Data Governance Lead

Remote (UK or Global) | Occasional travel

A unique opportunity for a hands-on data leader to drive transformation in a global technical services business. We’re partnering with a client in the maritime and energy sector who are shifting to a "Data First" culture, and they need you to lead the charge.

You’ll shape and execute a practical enterprise data governance roadmap, embed data ownership and stewardship across commercial, finance, and operations functions, and lead change across all levels without a team to manage, but with senior-level influence.

You'll bring:

• 8+ years in data governance or strategy
• Experience with frameworks like DAMA DMBOK, GDPR, DCAM
• Change management expertise (PROSCI/CDMP certifications welcome)
• The drive to do and deliver, not just strategize
• Remote working and flexible hours
• Real impact on a digital transformation journey

This role suits someone who can switch between strategy and action, who loves influencing across functions, and who thrives in hands-on delivery.
